Take Away Chapter 6

I rolled over and wrapped my arm around Paige's waist. Last night, as we were 'laying low' we stayed in her room cuddles up naked under the covers. Nothing sexual about it at all, but intimate nonetheless. She rolled over and pressed her frame against mine, nuzzling her cheek against my soft shoulder. "Paige? Baby? You still asleep?"

She murmured something then kissed my chin, and I was guessing that she was saying 'I love you' again in her sleep. "Why can't you just tell me that out loud," I said as I stroked her powdery cheeks. I rolled out of bed to her protest, after all it was a Sunday, and it was almost twelve in the afternoon.

"Umm," I heard her moan softly, taking my pillow against her breast and snuggling down further into the sheets. "Alex, I love you." She muttered out sleepily, my back towards her. I turned around and saw she was still asleep, sighing deep against the pillow. I leaned down with one of the sheets tide tightly around my body.

"My beautiful Paige." I kissed her forehead, and began to get dressed.

After of much searching for my cloths, I walked downstairs and started cooking breakfast. I heard the soft pitter-pat of feet coming down the stairs and knew Paige was awake. I turned around and she greeted me open armed. "Uh huh, you might need to put more cloths on before you get cold babe." I said, examining her long sleeved white button up shirt that she had on…and nothing else.

"Nuh uh," she smiled, pulling me into a fiery kiss. "I don't wanna." Her pouty lip was out now and I knew this would be 'trouble' for me. She sat me back in a chair, and sat down on my lap. "I missed you up there," she looked deep into my eyes. "Why'd you get up without me?" She started to kiss down my tender neck, biting and sucking her way down.

"Umm, because I wanted to make my beautiful girlfriend breakfast." I tried to sound calm-cool-and collected but Paige just wasn't having it. "I thought you needed more sleep."

"Umm, yea, sleep," she licked her tongue over my collarbone, and started to undo her shirt.

"Paige!" I stopped her, picking her up off my lap and sitting her back down in the chair. "Calm down, ok?"

"Why don't you want me, Alex?" She looked down at the floor.

"I do, I just…" I trailed off, trying to catch my mind, and make it stop spinning.

"Then what's the problem?"

"I just…I don't want to take advantage of you while Dean and Jay are out there causing havoc. And on top of that, Dean knows you live here. I don't want him to come here and try anything with you. It's all just so stressful, and plus…"

"What is it baby?" She looked at me desperately. She knew that I could take care of her if I needed to; she knew that's not what was bothering me. She got up and clasped her hands over mine, picking them up and kissing over each knuckle.

"I want you to know something, Paige, before we do anything." I sat back down in the chair and pulled her close in my lap. "I love you. And I've thought about it for a long time, and I think you do to." I sighed, my pride to big to look into her eyes.

She looked down over the metal chair we were sitting in. "I don't know what holds me back from saying it back Alex. I've thought about it a lot. And a few times it's come up, and I just…I've been careless with that phrase a lot, hun, and I just wanna be sure I'm right from now on."

"Then be right with me," I blurted.

"Alex…this feels right. I just can't yet, I'm sorry." She got up off my lap and walked back upstairs.

Jay walked down to the ravine and met up with Amy. "So I heard that Alex turned lez, and you went to go talk to Mr. Holy One and his Virgin Mary today. How'd that work out for you?"

"Shut the fuck up Amy. If it wasn't for you, Alex wouldn't be a lez, and I wouldn't have to worry about Spinner and his newfound faith." He pulled a cigarette out of his pack and lit it up.

"Uh huh, you're the one that wanted me to suck you off those nights that Alex wouldn't come down here with you. And I was more than happy to do the favor. Oh, but wait, I'm not the only chick that did that now am I?" She looked over at the van, then down at her bracelet. "Emma had one of these too. The night of the play I believe, actually, you know, when Alex decked me across the face."

"Yea, whatever, Amy." Jay started walking off into the direction of the fire pit to get a beer.

"Jay!" Amy ran to catch up with him, "You know, we can again, if you want."

Jay stared at her for a long time, then just kept walking on.

Dean drove past Paige's house for the hundredth time. "That little bitch isn't going to rattle me up anymore." He said to himself, pounding his steering wheel while listen to "The Sickness" by Disturbed. "Heh, I'll make sure she gets hers." He growled, and drove on.

Author's Note: Just wanting to make a comment about the addition of Jay. Everything that is going on with Jay is just to show he's alone. Meeting up with Dean in the middle of the night, trying to pursue Alex which isn't working out, going to see Spinner, and teasing Darcy, then going somewhere more familiar (the ravine) and realizing that he hates it there.

As for the Palex portion of this story, don't get mad at the sexual content if I do so choose to write it in. I have a specific reasoning to every action, and hopefully some of you will get it.

Thanks for all the reads and reviews :-p Enjoy!
